Irrational Logic
How often has it happened that our Government has created "laws" that lead to unintended consequences? Or perhaps it would be easier to calculated how often it has not lead to unintended consequences. This current battle to destroy our Constitution by taking away ones right to bear arms is one that will lead to many unintended consequences. And the remifications are great. For one, it will creat a new class of criminal because most "law abiding" citizen gunowners will not give over their right to bear arms which is guarranteed them in our Constitution. Thus making them law breakers. I count myself among this new class of citizen. It will also give rise to violent crime because the scum who are now living outside the law will be emboldened to raise the level of violence, knowing that chances are very good that nobody is carrying a concealed weapon because of this new law. And thereby giving the criminal the upperhand. Anyone who thinks the crime rate is too high now, oh, just wait and see where it goes if the antigun/antiselfprotection crowd get their way. It is time to take a stand. There are only 2 sides to this debate. For or Against! There is no middle/gray area. You either endorse the rise of violent crime by giving the Government approval to destroy our Constitution or you take a stand against the destruction of our Constitution and say to our elected officials "an armed society is a safer society" and "gunowners are not the problem" The problem lies in the liberal mind that doesn't want consequences for action. Unless of course, you mention God. Then, hell hath no fury like a liberal cornered. If I use the argument that is going around that says "If we outlaw assault guns and multiround clips we will reduce and perhaps eliminate mass murder" Then I can assume that if we outlaw robbing banks,shooting anyone with even a single shot,running a red light,minors drinking or using drugs,pickpocketing,autotheft,just to name a few, then these events would stop. Oh wait, they are already against the law.... But how can that be? Afterall, we have laws in place to "stop" these crimes. I guess passing laws doesn't always mean reducing crime. I hear the ignorant argument that since kids are going to have sex anyway, lets just make it safer and not judge them. Did that work? No! We now have more abortions by teenagers than ever before. We also have more kids having kids than ever before. Heck, we even have a tv show dedicated and glorifying their plights called "16 and pregnant" Unintend consequences. I could spend a week just sighting all the damage our government has done by kneejerk reaction but so can you so I invite you to research on your own. Bottomline is simple. Don't mess with the Constitution and punish harshly those who break laws instead of punishing those who revere it. Political correctness and softhand sissification of our society has run amuck for too long. Standup and stand strong.Jeff Ulrich
